Plaits prove
to be a
style hit...
Chunky braids are the look this
spring, keeping long locks in check
while adding a careless glamour.
The girls on the spring/summer
catwalks at Alexander Wang
flaunted Pocahontas-esque plaits,
while hot London designer Nathan
Jenden had his models wearing high
pigtails. Sherlock Holmes star Rachel
McAdams recently opted for loose
tendrils on the red carpet. To get
her look, L’Oréal’s Malcolm
Edwards suggests spritzing damp
hair with L’Oréal Serie Expert
Hydra Repair Spray, £10.50, followed
by L’Oréal Play Ball Texture Tonic,
£11, to give body. Gather hair into a
side bunch and plait loosely. Pull
a few tendrils free and add a gel like
L’Oréal Fix Move, £11.60, for texture.

SKI TAN
I’m more après-ski than
downhill ski, but I do feel
envious when my friends
return from the slopes
with glowing tans, so
I decided to try the new
Ski Tan which colours just
your face – like a real ski
tan. The Sanderson
Hotel’s Agua Spa, with
billowing white linen
curtains, looks like a snow
paradise – and it is. Model

Rosie
Huntington-
Whiteley’s
favourite
fake-tan maestro t James J
Read spritzed my face
using a delicious-smelling
formula he has created.
He then used different
intensities of bronze to
sculpt my cheekbones.
I suddenly looked as
though I hadn’t spent the
winter stuck at my PC. He
even spritzed my hands
and neck to complete the
illusion. I can forgo the ski
trip but I’m not sure
if I can give up the
handsome instructors.
